The Diabetic Foot Consortium (DFC), funded by the National Institutes of Health is the first-ever multicenter network to study diabetic foot ulcers. Clinical Research sites within DFC network serve as an excellent resource for rigorous wound healing clinical trials. The session will discuss ongoing activities and future initiatives, how to participate in this unique initiative or become a satellite CRU, how to utilize the resources available (e.g., biorepository) for your research.
